Thank you! This was by far the most informative video I've seen related to raising seed round funds. The camera movements were a bit distracting though..

All investors and/or angels are not going to be aligned or sold on your vision and that's ok. I'm learning a lot as I go and I'm always going to be in learning mode. What I love about my business model and structure is it's flexibility. The company has the ability to start anywhere as well as the ability to start on multiple projects. I purposely built it that way. #Marketplace I wanted to give investors options.
